Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

My name is Nicolet D. I hold a certificate in Early Childhood Development. I come from Zimbabwe in a family of 3 siblings, 2 girls and 1 boy. I am a very caring, fun, reliable, patient and a hardworking person. I have previous experience working as a nanny and babysitter and I have completed coursework in Early Childhood Development. I am seeking a role which allows me to continue learning and perfecting my skills as I provide high quality work and encourages me to flourish as a child carer.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I love children and I have always enjoyed working with them and finding it rewarding to help them learn and grow. I am very passionate about children and confident in my ability to make a valuable contribution to their growing. I can accustom myself very fast in new situations when it comes to children

Hobbies and other interests

Reading and writing, Music, Travelling, Outdoor recreation and Community Involvement.
